Chemical industry infiltration

New comment - 22 October 2023
Updates from European Chemicals Agency on the proposed restriction of around 10 000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Consultation closed on 26/9/23 with the expected lobbying from the chemical industry. Review now in place which will reveal how serious the EU is to protect the people rather than cover to pressure from the chemical industry.
However, the Guardian newspaper has revealed The EU has abandoned a promise to ban all but the most vital of toxic chemicals used in everyday consumer products, leaked documents show.
​Clearly my comment below has since been shattered - the chemical industry have too much power and then the users can irresponsibility ignore storage and disposal precautions.

New comment - 30 April 2023
The momentum is swinging in favour of ethical & transparent science regarding PFAS. ​
This story link, Former federal officials slam WHO for misleading guidance on ‘forever chemicals’, is a perfect example where a major international health body, World Health Organisation (WHO) appears to be seriously compromised, but now publicly challenged
  • 'The World Health Organization’s (WHO) draft drinking water guidelines for “forever chemicals” disregard best available science and require extensive revisions, two former federal officials argued in a new position paper.'​
​It follows on from a November 2022 Guardian article, 'more than 110 experts raise alarm over WHO’s ‘weak’ PFAS limits for drinking water', revealing more disturbing information which goes to the heart of industry infiltrating 'so-called' independent entities established to protect human health and the environment.
  • ...raising a public alarm over what they label “weak” PFAS drinking water limits proposed by the World Health Organization, which they charge used shoddy science and “arbitrarily” dismissed hundreds of studies linking the “forever chemicals” to serious health problems.
  • Some further alleged the process of developing the guidelines was corrupted by industry-aligned consultants aiming to undercut strict new PFAS limits proposed in the US, and weaken standards in the developing world. The chemicals have been called “forever chemicals” due to their longevity in the environment.
If only our Australia Government & agencies shows some morals and ethics!!!

The use of astroturf operations, front groups, professors, journalists, & others - a Monsato example

New report reveals pesticide industry’s disinformation and science denial playbook. Merchants of Poison: How Monsanto Sold the World on a Toxic Pesticide, illuminates the disinformation, science denial, and manufactured doubt at the core of the pesticide industry’s public relations playbook. 
It is shear hard work coming at great expense to some researchers - physically, mentally and financially but there are companies recklessly using toxic and unsafe chemicals for short term gain.
The report has the following disclaimer which is similar to how I operate. Massive research, then connect the dots for what is in the public domain and what we know anecdotally. Just trying to fight the system when the immoral operators use their degrees and positions to spread disinformation and manufacture doubt.
Let this all be a lesson - do not let disinformation rule your life because it might just be what destroys it.
